The old housekeeper was even more confused than she was, and he was completely stunned:

 “Kui, Kuierta…”

"He has been safely delivered to the client, who agreed to tell you the truth."

After hearing the truth narrated by Sikong, Xu Yin and the other three looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Xu Kui's surname is Xiao, and he is the legitimate son of Prince Rui Xiao Su, the only younger brother of the current emperor.

When Princess Rui went to the palace for a banquet, she accidentally ate something. She started to have labor pains as soon as she left the palace. She gave birth before she returned to the palace. During the chaos of the war, a wave of assassins came and snatched the newborn child away. gone.

Over the years, Prince Rui has been investigating the mastermind behind the assassin while also searching for his son's whereabouts.

Until three years ago, it was found that Xu Ningxiang, the head of Qizhen Pavilion, had passed through that street in a carriage on the day the princess gave birth. He was about to summon Xu Ningxiang and his wife for questioning. Unexpectedly, the couple encountered bandits on their way to incense.

Prince Rui found out that the group of bandits were not ordinary bandits, but people who took money and killed people to silence them. This made him more convinced of his guess that Xu Ningxiang should know something.

"Prince Rui felt guilty and felt that Xu Ningxiang and his wife should have been implicated by him. He was also worried that the person behind the scenes might find out something from the Xu Mansion before he did, so he entrusted us Qianji Pavilion to find the whereabouts of the prince and protect Xu. Descendants of the mansion."

Hearing this, the old housekeeper could not restrain the grief in his heart and sobbed:

“It turns out that the death of the master and his wife was not an accident...it was the old slave who was involved.”

Xu Yin has complicated emotions.

It is said that there are unforeseen events in the sky and misfortunes and blessings for people. But if this disaster is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, how unbearable it would be!

She was heartbroken, but she couldn't blame the old housekeeper for this. He motioned to Wang Huyuan to help the housekeeper out first, lest he blame himself too much and something would happen.

When she and Sikong were left alone, she asked her doubts: "Xu Kui was picked up by the housekeeper in the snow when he was out. Many people in the house knew this, and it was not a secret. Xu Kui himself knew that he was adopted by the housekeeper. Yes, but he has a very good relationship with the housekeeper. Over the years, the relationship between father and son has been much deeper than that between father and son in some families. Why did you wait until Xu Kui showed the plum blossom birthmark on his calf before confirming that it was him? Did you know it before? Have you never doubted his identity?"

Hearing her question, Sikong smiled helplessly: "I did have doubts before, but the old lady who delivered the princess's baby did not know whether she remembered it wrongly or deliberately misled her. The news she left before her death was that the plum blossom birthmark was on her right calf. .When the prince was in your mansion, he always wore trousers and rarely exposed his calves. I tested him once, and what I saw that time was his right leg, without any plum blossom birthmark. Furthermore..."

Sikong took out a brocade pouch from his sleeve pocket and opened it. Inside were two pieces of yellowed paper, one with the prince's birth date written on it, and the other with a small portrait of the princess and her brother.

“The birth dates and horoscopes do not match, and the voices, looks, and smiles are thousands of miles apart.”

 Xu Yin took the small portraits of Xu Kui's biological mother and uncle. After reading them, she could completely understand why Sikong didn't doubt Xu Kui, because they looked so different, and there was no similarity in their facial features.

She said that Xu Xingdu looks more like the heir apparent of Prince Rui than Xu Kui.

　Especially in the past two years, when I was promoted to shopkeeper, I was very proud of myself. How much weight did I gain?

Those squinting eyes are like the hair embedded in the white steamed buns, so thin that they can be ignored.

 Look at the princess in the portrait again. She has bright teeth, bright eyebrows and good eyesight.

Xu Yin couldn’t help but think: When Prince Rui saw Xu Kui for the first time, was he shocked?

"Then the mastermind behind the scenes has been found?" Thinking of his original parents, Xu Yin felt a little uncomfortable, "What if he has not been found? The enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. Even if Xu Kui is found, won't he be able to find him again?" dangerous?"

 “Found it out.”

"Who is it?" Xu Yin thought of a possibility, "But the other women in the palace's back palace?"

Sikong chuckled lightly: "Why do you think so? In the back house of the palace, who dares to do something to the princess and the prince?"

　　　…”

 There are a lot of them in the novel! Fight for power and position by any means necessary.

"Who could that be? The prince's enemy?" "Absolutely. It won't do any good if you know this, so don't ask." Sikong stretched, "Anyway, the prince is safe now. The prince knows how to protect him. Rui The king is not a temperless person.”

“You know how easy it is to get caught in a sack if you are so appetizing?” Xu Yin glared at him.

Sikong laughed and said, "No one in this world dares to put a sack on me."

Xu Yin looked at him and smiled. The scar on her face stretched from her forehead to her chin. It was unbearable to look at. She turned her face away and muttered: "There are people who cut you, so what's the point of a sack?" Have you offended a lot of people?"

 She is really curious.

“It seems like it’s true if a person wanders around the rivers and lakes without getting stabbed.”

　　　…”

Sikong was helpless and funny. He touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue. He raised his hand to show her his true face when he suddenly heard a small cracking sound in the air.

With a stern look on his face, he quickly took Xu Yin into his arms, said "I'm offended", hugged her, spun around, caught a small silver needle, and without any pause, shot it out with his backhand.

 There was a muffled groan outside the house.

Sikong helped Xu Yin stand firm, pushed the door open and walked out.

 In the courtyard, Wang Huyuan and others were all stabbed and unable to move.

A graceful middle-aged woman was squatting on the ground to detoxify a bearded man who had been hit by a silver needle.

There was a man standing in the middle of the courtyard, wearing a half-mask. When he saw Sikong coming out, his aura suddenly dropped, and he gritted his teeth and declared war: "Jade-faced Shura! You have killed more than forty of my disciples, and you will be punished!"

 Sikong didn’t say anything and went straight up to fight.

　　The head sent to the door will be taken away in vain.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 Jade-faced Shura?

The Jade-faced Shura from Qianji Pavilion?

During the Chinese New Year, I heard Wang Huyuan mention this name when I was chatting about the mountains with the people under the fire pot.

It is said that the other party is the best among the top masters in the world. Not only is he superb in martial arts, but he is also extremely handsome. He is nicknamed "Jade Faced Shura" by the people in the world.

At this moment, looking at Sikong, who was showing off his tricks and moving around easily as if he was playing tricks on the opponent, Xu Yin felt in a subtle mood and twitched the corner of her mouth:

The rumors in the world seem extremely unbelievable! He is still extremely handsome despite being disfigured like this... Or is it that people in the world have a special aesthetic?

After a few rounds, can the masked man still not see that Sikong is playing tricks on them? He rolled his eyes and wanted to capture Xu Yin as a condition of negotiation, but Sikong saw through it.

His face became serious, and he managed to deal with the three of them in a few strokes. He found a token from the masked man, tossed it, and put it into his arms.

Then he raised his hand and untied Wang Huyuan and others' acupuncture points. He looked back at Xu Yin and said, "Don't be nervous. I'll take care of their lair. No one will come to trouble the house in the future. Oh yes. No one in this world dares to kill me."

He raised his hand and peeled off a human skin mask, revealing the true face of the jade-faced Shura that made the martial arts people blush...
